Could somebody put into lamens terms for me what the diversity is on final circuits (sockets) as per table A2 in the OSG.
It reads:
"100% of current demand of largest circuit +40% of current demand of every other circuit".
Does "largest circuit" mean longest length, most sockets, or biggest demand?
Would you then work out what load would be on the largest circuit and add that to 40% of the total load on the other circuits?
Finally would that effectively mean you would apply the same load when calculating cable size to each final circuit?
I think i've i've over read this and confused myself DOH!
In simple terms i'm working through the design process for a simple 2 bedroom house, a ring final upstairs, a radial downstairs and a ring final for the kitchen + radials for oven/hob etc it's just the sockets i'm getting confused with what diversity to apply.
Many thanks in advance
